Not sport Trac related, but does anyone know of any websites that give alternator measurements and dimensions?



I am building my engine and I need an alternator. I could use a Stock Escort Alternator, but I converted the V ribbed/v belt crank pully to a V ribbed/v ribbed combo. I now need a new alternator for the engine. I could use a Ford Aspire pully onto a Escort GT alternator, but that model is 65 Amps.



A 1996 Kia Sephia 1.8L uses an 80 amp alternator with a 4 ribbeed pulley.



I wanted to compare and EGT alternator against the Sephia alternator, but the Kia alternator is special order only.



I have seen this for brake pads, but wondering if it is available for alternators.

I guess there is some ST related information in this...



I will drive the Sport Trac to buy the item...:D

Tom, if the Escort alternator has enough amperage, just get a serpentine pulley. The shaft size should be the same and there are a number of choices. Also, Delco alternators have the same shaft size. Find a local Starter & Alternator Rebuilder and they should be able to help you. A different (used) pulley shouldn't cost you more than $5.00...
 
The problem is that the alternator is in a place that is a PITA to replace. If I can get a larger amperage alternator for a minimal premium over the stock one, it would be worth it.



From the looks of it, it looks like it will fit. I can buy it off ebay for $55.00 with the stores listing it at $150.00.

This doesn't do you any good but on my computer at work I have a link to a Denso sight that lists all their alternators and gives complete specs on them. If I go by the shop today I'll get it for you, if not won't be until Monday.
 
That is fine. That would be exactly what I need. The Kia Spehia has the same engine I have.

There are a ton of shops here that rebuild OEM units to higher specs......



Any chance of getting the Escourt alt rebuilt for higher output ???



OR how about a different model Escourt alt... I know my 98 had a choice of a 60 or so and then a higher 85 or something like that.......



Could even get a 1 wire universal alt...



Just a thought..

Doing research, for $55.00 + shipping of $13.00, I can get a direct fit alternator that is 15 amps greater AND the right special pulley that never came on an Escort.

Tried the link today and it was dead, Denso changed there website around but I have acall in to the Denso rep to see if he has a new web address for it...will keep you posted
